Budgeting works. I haven't always believed this, and I have suffered by having bills come due with no money to pay them. So today it was easy to sit down and to pay my property taxes that are due in January and to pay them early with no struggle.
Maybe budgeting and managing money would be a good topic for a Bible study group. How to be honest with money. How to plan for the future. How to set up a simple budget and how to live within your means. I wonder how many marriages struggle due to not having a grasp on the basics of managing money.
Some people never have enough no matter how much they have. Some people equate walking by faith as the same as being presumptuous and living far beyond their means.
We were taught that money brings reality to life. We also learned that money is you in a spendable form.
Pay your tithe, give beyond your tithe, and learn how to live on the rest. Contentment can be learned.
